Friends From a Far

Our friends are in town from Germany! We have been enjoying spending time with them (that is Levi and I have...Philip will get to join in once he gets home tomorrow!!!). Today we all met up at our mutual friends house to hang out, eat, let the kids play and swim. All of us had our first kids around the same time (May 09, June 09 and July 09) so they are about the same age, just 1 month between each. They were in town about a year ago when all the kids were still teeny tiny. Last time we did a lot of sitting around, starring at our immobile babies...this time we chased and played with our busy toddlers! They are just so cute together...but WAY harder to photograph.

Today they were loving to swim together in the pool: Levi- 13 mo, Autry- 15 mo and Caden- 14 mo

Last year they just chilled on the bed: Autry- 13 weeks, Caden-9 weeks, Levi 5 weeks

They are thinking about moving back to TX in about a year and we would LOVE it! Levi would have a male friend to hang out with and it would be wonderful to have another stay at home Mom to spend time with! Come back, pretty please!!!


On another note, Carol is doing about the same today as the past 2 days. She has remained off the ventilator but continues to fight her kidney failure, liver failure and infection. She has been struggling with extreme fatigue, some confusion and shortness of breath. We are hoping these will get better so that she can enjoy being awake a little more. Again, thank you for all the prayers, keep them coming...God has given us this miracle- how could we limit Him now??!!
